Analysis of Life Quality of Civilians Living in Armed Conflict Environment

The article presents results of the analysis of the life quality of civilians living in the armed conflict environment. An empirical study took place in Donbass. The study involved 723 people aged from 17 to 75. The selection was divided into two groups: the first group was the residents of the low-intensity shooting areas (ALIS), the second group was the population from the areas of intensive shooting (AIS). The author reveals that the majority of the respondents in the first group have normal life quality in terms of the parameters: living conditions, area of residence, family, sex life, recreation, social support, health of relatives, but there is a diminished quality of life in terms of indicators: material prosperity, nutrition, social position, work, spiritual needs, personal health, peace of mind, life in general. It was found that the life quality evaluation in the second group is significantly lower than in the first group, almost in all the parameters. The article specifies that the main indicators that exist in the zone of normal life for people from the second group are family and social support. The author indicates that the level of motivation to achieve success among the male respondents of the first group is higher than that of women in this group; in the second group the number of men with a low level of motivation prevails. It was concluded that the respondents of the two groups studied had the most pronounced «average satisfaction with life» assessment in general.
